What's your stream?

So I finished up the latest Ortberg book over the weekend. There was an interesting chapter on the different "streams" in which we find God. He uses streams do describe the different ways that people can see and hear God in a manner that best relates to them.

Regrettably, I have since returned the book to the library and can't recall all the different streams. I do know that there were seven of them and that one of them was Creation. It stuck out because it's one of the primary ways I find God. It's in the animals. Whenever I see a rabbit, without fail, I will greet it with a "Hello Rabbit!" (and you have to emphasize it the same way that Pooh does when he greets Rabbit - hel-LO RAbbit). When I see the mountains when I'm driving to church, or the sun setting, I see God. I actually wrote an entry on a sunrise last Friday which I hope to post this weekend.

One of the other streams that I recall is an intellectual stream. This one I recall because I have several smart friends. People who like math. And they may find it easier to see God in the intricacies of our world. In equations and theorems.

Anywho, I wish I had kept the book a little longer, or written this a little earlier. But the gist of the chapter was that while there are certain streams where God sticks out to us, our neighbor, friend, spouse might not see it as well as we can. And it's important to remember that they may not see it as clearly as we can.
